What was I thinkin?:

Yesterday I spent the morning getting organized. We made an official list for our coming 2012 feature grid papers, PaperTiles Trios, Page kits, etc. We are getting ready for new downloads, classes, and page patterns, etc. With the holiday's on the way, I am relating my current activities to Santa's task - making a list and checking it twice!

My oldest daughter, Paije, has taken on the task of creating our "Mosaic Moments Mail" over the past few months - I think she has been doing a fabulous job. I am thrilled that she has agreed to continue writing the newsletter (between her college classes) in 2012.

Yesterday, she was working on pages for our December newsletter with photos of a holiday trip to Disney World - I admit, looking through the photos made me want to drop everything and head south - I LOVE Disney World at Christmas time!

Another very exciting activity taking place at the Wish in the Wind, LLC offices, is preparing packets for the new Mosaic Moments Design Team. I am really excited to introduce them and see all the wonderful things they will share with us in the coming year.

December 1st is tomorrow and that means it is time to start counting down the days until Christmas at our house. Our little snowman "pocket hopper" is ready to leap from pocket to pocket until Christmas Day.

As he hops, I've made a bunch of little pocket sized tags to place into the pockets he jumps out of. We are going to write a little note of gratitude on each tag, I thought it would be a good way for us to ponder the blessings we have received from our Savior, and preserve them for years to come.

There is a pattern for the pockets on our free downloads:

I read on Wikipedia that there are also 25 days involved with Hanukkah (Hanukkah starts on the Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev,) - so, If you would like to create a scrapbook page to count down the days until Hanukkah I've added a blue count down version to our free downloads.
